Nang Yuan Island
A 4 hours by ferry from Samui or 4 hours ( 2 hours by speedboat
) from Chumpon, this island is already a fine and remote refuge.
This tiny island of Nang Yuan, lying off the northwestern end of
Koh Tao, is more of a getaway.
 The
Big Buddha
On the north coast of Samui you'll find this popular shrine and
meditation centre.
The gaudy bazaar within the temple grounds offers souvenirs both
secular and religious- everything from T- shirts and hats to protective
amulets.
Sea Canoeing
Ang Thong Marine National Park, just to the north of Samui, is a
group of lovely steep- side limestone islands fringed with forest,
an ideal cruising ground for yachts and a sometimes destination
for divers.
Butterfly Farm
The Butterflies on the Samui farm flit about naturally amid tropical
foliage. Besides observing at close range some of the region's most
beautiful butterflies, you can witness the breeding cycle of some
species that are taised on the spot. The farm is set up on a hillside
overlooking the ocean on the southeast corner of the island.
